Alot of new: Information with a steep learning curve. Talk to the treatment team to get the details of the leukemia type and the associated risk factors. I would suggest you look at the resources on the lls.Org website when you know what you are looking for. Up to date and very thorough info.

My son is 21 yrs old. His iron is at 233 ug/dl. His bilirubin came back at 1.6 mg/dL. He does not take an iron suplt nor does he drink. Is this # high for someone his age? Would a person with leukemia come back with these numbers? It runs in family?
